My favorite Disney resort is All Star Music.
Here is a list of differences between the two resorts.
Pop is newer.
Pop was opened in 2003.
All Star Music was opened in 1994.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All Star Music is undergoing a refurbishment of all of the rooms and is slated to be completed by June 2007.
The Calypso and Jazz buildings are finished and the last I heard they were working on the Broadway buildings.
Dh and I stayed in refurbished Calypso room last September.
The refurbished Calypso room we stayed in looked just the photos of the refurbished Jazz Inn room that are posted on allearsnet.
Here is the link with photos of the newly refubished rooms at All Star Music

.
Pop has a lake. The All Stars do not have a lake.
When staying at the All Stars you use any of the All Stars pools.
The 3 All Stars are within easy walking distance of each other.
The gift shops are separate from the food court at the All Stars.
The gift shop and food court are combined at Pop.
Pop has 2,880 guest rooms 4 floors in each building.
Each of the All Stars has 1,960 rooms. 3 floors in each building.
Both Pop and the All Star rooms are 260 square feet.
The beds at the All Stars are movable.
the beds at Pop at bolted to the floor.
The far bed at an All Star is closer to wall. And the near bed is not as close to the doorway as it is at Pop
The far bed at Pop is pulled away from the wall more. The near bed is closer to door.

For most people that would not make a difference but since I need an EVC
the bed being so near the door at Pop makes it more difficult for me to back my EVC in.
Have fun at Disney wherever you choose to stay!
